A must-do if you're visiting Chicago. I was greeted by friendly people and a warm and jazzy atmosphere. My waitress, Jessica, was nice and knowledgeable of the menu and helped me with my selection. The portions were huge and every bite was delicious. Compliments to chef and thank you Jessica for adding to this wonderful experience. I will be back whenever I pass through Chicago again. My only regret was not being to finish all at once.

Uhm... DELICIOUS. How delicious? Well, my son and I almost missed our plane because we just couldn't stop eating. Tasty drinks, amazing baked products and meats, and fun atmosphere. Absolutely a must when visiting Chicago. We'll be back!

The atmosphere is nostalgic and 50's throwback. The staff is friendly and caring. They serve breakfast all day. They have mimosas. You can buy vintage candy. You can buy deli food. They try their best to help and accommodate your party. The appetizers are really good. The food is great. It is not on the lower price end.

Excellent brunch meal was had recently at this location. The portions are extremely large and most items can be shared by 2 guest.
The service is what I would consider average at best meaning they don’t voluntarily give refills of coffee without asking
The prices are decent given the quality and quantity of food you are served
I highly recommend the French Toast, House Potatoes and Monte Cristo

Been to so many countries and countless brunches but this one stands out! We were visiting from Canada for the long weekend and found this page though google- 35min wait and got seated at the bar and when we saw a table empty asked if we could be seated there instead. The first waitress declined but the owner (?) Got back to us and made us an exception and promptly got us seated there with probably the best welcome of modern times. Being from Canada, I know a polite person when I see one but man this place is beyond expectations. The place is bustling and BUSY yet the servers and owners have the biggest smile in their faces and are just proud to be a part of the best diner institution there is! Food was great but I’ll be back in a heartbeat to just to sit there and enjoy the vibe! Most definitely my best brunch experience in USA and I’m close to having visited all 50 states :)

This place was amazing! We went 4 times out of a weeks stay in Chicago.
Every single thing we got was delicious. Burgers tasty and perfectly seasoned, fruit fresh and sweet, I recommend the challah French toast, the pastrami sandwich, and the macaroni were so good and the portions are huge! Staff were so nice and the owner as well. Cool place for sure, try the in house made rootbeer you won't regret it.

Well worth your wait. Breakfast all day and the food and drinks were amazing. Very kid friendly and accommodating for kids as they have kid's menu and provide high chairs. Their blood Mary was something I wanted to try and their mix was very tasty. I wish I could have had more of it. Their food was delicious and the kids menu came with apple sauce and fries. If you are in the area and want diner food or just want some good breakfast this is the place to go. Deserts were also worth getting, so big and we just split it amongst the table.
Our waiter was on top of it as well. Good job to the wait staff there.

Solid diner spot in Chicago. Very spacious, but a little bit of a wait time before being seated. The staff is friendly and the service is great. Plenty of food and beverage options. We sat at the bar and that wad perhaps a great experience - mingling w the staff, experiencing how busy this place gets and being able to dine casual without any fuss. The bloody mary’s are a popular must and the root beers. There is catering options by the entrance and a separate candy shop. This place had an old school diner feel but clean and modern. The food btw is DELICIOUS.

Great place to eat! The service was awesome from all the staff. Fun and friendly environment. We had our 8 month and they accommodated us perfectly with the highchair and a table big enough for all of us. Following covid protocols with masks and gloves. The food was ao delicious! Home brewed root beer was tasty. I also had the pastrami hash bowl, would recommend!!
